Item description from seller

True (UK) first edition, first printing. Fine, fresh, unread copy in equally fine dust jacket. The 15th book in this historical mystery series set in 12th century western England featuring monk/apothecary/sleuth Brother Cadfael. Hardcover. 205 pp. In Shrewsbury in 1142, the worst of winter arrives early, bringing with it a heavy snowfall. Thus the safety of the guest-hall roof at the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul comes into jeopardy and the brothers are called upon to effect repairs--despite the weather--before the damage grows. But the icy and treacherous conditions are to prove near fatal for Brother Haluim. He slips from the roof and crashes to the ground, sustaining terrible injuries, injuries grave enough for him to want to make his deathbed confession.The confession is heard by the Abbot and Brother Cadfael only. And a wicked story it is, of trespasses hard for God or man to forgive. But Haluin does not die. And on his recovery, he determines to make a journey of expiation, with Cadfael as his sole companion. It is a tense and arduous journey, physically and emotionally, and one that leads to shocking discoveries: of young lovers thwarted; of deceit and betrayal; of bitter revenge.and of murder. The Brother Cadfael series of historical mysteries were adapted as an ITV and PBS television series in the late 1990s and starred Derek Jacobi in the title role.…
